Tracer Rise

FINA approved Tracer Rise in January of 2008.

On January 21st, Peter Marshall made history by becoming the first swimmer to wear a polyurethane woven fabric in competition at the 2008 Southern California Grand Prix (100 yd. Back 45.65).

It is the culmination of years of physiological and drag-reduction engineering. The patent-pending design offers swimming's first-ever muscle contour seaming, designed to limit muscle undulation and maximize oxygen efficiency.

Tracer Rise utilizes Rapid Boundary Technology™ the fusion of a polyurethane micro coating to a proprietary lightweight woven fabrication resulting in a low surface drag coefficient fabric that is non-permeable, water repellent and features high memory compression.

Athletic performance benefits

• Lightweight, Water Repellent, Low Friction: Combines the sport's lightest and most water repellent fabric with strategically placed Rapid Boundary Technology membranes to aid in friction reduction and to assist higher body positioning.
• Compression: Major muscle groups are precisely targeted with double paneled compression to help streamline the body and add concentrated undulation reduction. High tensile strength flat seams aid body compression and muscle contouring.
• Quick Drying, Low Absorption Rate: Dries faster than previous suit generations since it is hydrophobic down to the fiber level; so it stays lighter, moves faster through the water and goes from completely saturated to dry, faster than any suit before it.
